Poetry: Silence

Sometimes silence can be peaceful
When everyone is safely tucked in and resting for the night.
Sometimes silence is threatening and scary
When waiting for the crash of thunder after the flash of light.
Peaceful or not, it is good to know He
Has the whole world,
Including you and me,
In the palm of His hand,
Today and for eternity.

I will both lie down in peace, and sleep;
For You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety. –Psalm 4:8
